Production of the Kona Electric model began at the Silesian plant in the spring, when it became the first electric car to be mass-produced in the Czech Republic. As a result, the carmaker has significantly shortened the delivery times of new electric cars. Spokesman Petr Michník said that while the production of other models was limited in the spring due to a coronavirus pandemic, the production of horses was running at full capacity.

“Nošická Kona Electric is intended for selected European markets, most of them went to Germany, the Netherlands, Norway and France,” said Michník. So far, the plant has produced almost 24,000 of these cars.
